    Ah, that's right. The 零售价 didn't register in my brain at first because I tend to only read in traditional Chinese (零售價).

    I don't even bother reading that if the figure is too big to be plausible it usually means MSRP with them.

    Dang, just when I settle on a racket, Victor comes out with another interesting one... when will this end?

    When you realise that it probably won't work for you like the BS12?

    If what BadmiCat posted is correct, then the RRI of 7? would be better for me than BS12's RRI of 5.

    Problem with that is that that's the BS12L's RRI of 6. The 12N on the same chart is RRI 7.

    The August release of the JS12 and re-release of the TK9900 seem to fall in line with Rio 2016 Summer Olympics held on the same month. Seems to be very strategic and makes good business sense. You don't want yet to be released rackets to cannibalize existing sales of products (shirts/shoes/rackets) if they were to be released to close to each other.

    Yes, the picture should look like that:

    BS12N and BS12L are different. It makes sense to buy a couple of good old blue BS12.

    Knocking 20% off the RRP leaves us around $220, which is still over £150, and that's before the obligatory EU hike for shipping and import.

    Still, they got the JS10 in under £140 over here, so who knows.

    The K9900 re-release looks to be global as well - it's catalogued in Germany for August.

    Two (non-sig) rackets in time for the Olympics? Well played, V-boys;).

    I hope Kim Ha Na is alright! Ko hit Kim with a lot of force seeing that his racket is broken.

    Thank god she's able to finish the game. There's a racket clash between the two causing the broken frame....quite a force in that swing

    Couldn't really see from the video what happened; still blurry in 720, but looked like it was during the swing up that he clipped her head and then hit her racket as she was trying to lie down and defend that smash? She was down for a good 5 minutes though...

    Yikes, fortunate for Kim that Ko doesn't wield a TK9000...

    I just realised that the colour scheme on the JS12 is similar to the JS TF4 which I like.

    The purple parts of the JS12 are blue/grey on the TF4. I would love to try a JS12 when it comes out but I fear it will be too flexible for me ☹️
